Select the correct option to make the (grammatically correct) sentence.

_________ we had to cancel the trip.

Solution

Correct Option: 4

A nominative absolute construction requires a subject plus participle. It being a rainy day is a correct absolute phrase where it is the subject and being is the participle. Being a rainy day without a subject would create a dangling modifier.
